The city authorities OF Asheyille are
wise in providing labor saving machin-
cry. They have in use a road scraper of
graf value in giving the streets open to
such improvem, Mt, a rounded surface
favorable to drainage; and this is kept in
constant uEe. They Iaye also steam
stone crusher, never idle, hich supplies
the crushed rock used il repairing tho
Surface ofthe streets already macadamiz-
ed; and they have literally supplied the
fire department with all the equipment
needed in fire service. There is no fire
nor chemical engine here, nor is there
need Of such. The mains lead in every
street; and with conveniently placed
plugs, there IS no part of the city in
which it seems possible for Gie to gain
mastery. We horo there never will
be test of that.
